São Paulo suffer heaviest defeat in over 20 years, check it out | OneFootball

São Paulo suffered its biggest defeat in over two decades this Thursday after being thrashed by Fluminense 6-0 at Maracanã, in the 36th round of the Brazilian Championship.

It had been 24 years since São Paulo lost by such a wide margin. The last setback with the same negative goal difference for Tricolor was the 7-1 defeat to Vasco, in 2001.

Since then, São Paulo had only conceded six goals on one other occasion, in the 2015 derby against Corinthians at Neo Química Arena, suffering a 6-1 defeat.

Other heavy defeats suffered by São Paulo this century that left a mark on fans were the 5-2 loss to Paysandu in 2003, the 5-2 to Fluminense in 2014, the 5-1 to Internacional in 2021, and the 5-0 to Palmeiras in 2023.

This Thursday's defeat was also the biggest ever suffered by São Paulo in the entire history of their encounters with Fluminense. Until now, that record belonged to the 7-2 loss to the Rio Tricolor in 1960.

São Paulo still has two more matches to play this season, one against Internacional at Vila Belmiro next Wednesday, and another against Vitória at Barradão on December 7.
